No one wants to make the mistake of buying a house with faulty working systems or structural problems. In most cases, the home buyer will have the right or option to have the home inspected (at their expense) before making a final decision to purchase the house.
The purpose of the pre-purchase inspection is to evaluate the overall condition of the house, to document any necessary repairs, and to identify any existing recognized hazards.
You should review the Seller's Disclosure Notice in detail prior to scheduling the inspection. This way, any areas of concern can be specifically examined at the time of inspection.
